Like one of those sales during the holiday season, I got some extra nice items free along with my wife – her interesting family members. For example, a 100+ year old active maternal grandmother-in-law, a wonderfully gentle and sensitive, yet tough and practical mother-in-law, really cool brothers and sisters in law. This is the story…
There are several discoveries I wanted to share a short while after I got married. But whenever I started speaking about it, I would get classified as a typical infatuated man who’s lost his mind in the blissful honeymoon phase. Feeling that might well be true, I ignored them. But now with more than a…

This was one of the really cool tips from Steven’s presentation. I used to play this game in my childhood when my cousin sister had gifted us this from the US. Now I am sometimes apalled when I see developer’s struggling to find simple problems in any code, and was wondering how I could help…

The most…

 When Sanjay was a little boy, in usual situations when he didn’t really need anything from his (late) Dad, he’d be a hopeless tantrum throwing brat! :evil: And when he needed something, he’d be like this son with the halo hovering over his head – a respectful reverential boy ever ready to serve his Dad’s slightest bidding :mrgreen:  And once…
This is a pretty good program – thanks to Conan who sent me a link. It reminds us to take breaks during computer usage. It really helps to avoid the almost invisible physical strain that we are inadvertently causing to ourselves. The animated excercises are pretty cool! I tried this software today and at first…
Long ago I’d made this photo titled “swatantra jeevi’ in Kannada, which roughly translates to “free individual/spirit” (Just for fun, not really considering myself so absolutely free!! ) Check out this pose of our son (photo taken by my wife)! 8) Hope this picture brings you a lot of smiles!
